Matthew 15:38
Amharic Catholic Version (መጽሐፍ ቅዱስ - (ካቶሊካዊ እትም - ኤማሁስ)) No Year
What Does This Mean?
This verse tells us that Jesus fed about four thousand men with women and children, showing His miraculous power to provide for a large crowd without the usual means.
Explained for Children
Imagine you're at a big picnic where there are thousands of people. You think there's not enough food, but then suddenly everyone has more than enough! That’s what happened here—Jesus made sure no one went hungry!
Historical Background
Matthew wrote this account around 80-90 AD for Jewish Christians, detailing how Jesus performed miracles to prove His divine nature. This event would have been particularly meaningful in a culture where feeding large groups was a significant challenge.
Living It Out Today
Think of times when you've felt overwhelmed by a task or problem. Just like these thousands who were fed unexpectedly, God can provide for our needs in ways we might not expect if we trust Him to intervene.
